Photo and description

The Umberto I Gallery is a kind of pompous passage. Cruciform in plan, with an exit on four sides and crowned with an openwork dome on an octahedral drum, it was completed by 1890 by a group of architects (E. Rocco, P. Boubet, A. Curri, etc.), becoming a monument of the magnificent era. There are expensive shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants here.

In the center of the building on the floor there are zodiac symbols in a circle. Tourists try to sit or lie on the appropriate symbol - this brings good luck in business.
